On my SGH-I747 when Smart Alert is enabled, I am talking on the phone, and receive a SMS my phone goes crazy with ridiculous vibrations. The vibrations are random and can be upwards of 20 in a minute. From what I searched I know it is tied to Smart Alert. The vibration pattern is the smart alert pattern.
I tired recalibrating my gyroscope, nothing different.
Starting to wonder if my gyroscope is defective? and ideas for a solution. I want to keep smart alert enabled.

Did you ever find a fix for this? Noticing the same thing on my phone. Verizon version in the U.S. - rarely use my phone until recently and often have several inbound texts. Right now i've been on a 2+hr conference call for work and it's vibrating like crazy in the background. Smart Alert is awesome for normal use but will have to turn it off if there's no workaround for this...
Ok so in another thread on this site that received zero replies I see at least one other person with this problem. The phone vibrates like crazy during calls when texts are received to the phone. The other thread lists 'Smart Alert' as the root cause. I love that feature, but have been actually using my phone as a phone quite a bit lately and the vibrating during calls is extremely annoying.
Anybody else having this problem and has there been a workaround discovered for it to keep Smart Alert active but avoid this in-call vibration?
Hello, I have a problem with my Nexus 5 (stock) ringtone and vibrate, I also had the same issue on my HTC One, which I had changed to Google Edition.
If someone calls the phone will ring and vibrate for about 1 second only and then it goes silent and stops vibrating, the call is still there ringing on the screen but just no sound or vibrate. This iv very annoying as I keep missing calls, can anyone please help with this issue.
Thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this? My phone has started doing exactly this, and I don't really know how to even begin troubleshooting it.
Yes I did. It was a 3rd party app causing the problem. A call control app that lets you accept and block numbers.....
Thanks for replying. That was my problem too. You saved me going through app by app to figure this out.
Pixel 2 XL Issues Dialer extremely slow & Deafening notification beeps during calls
Hi all,
I had a quick search on the forums but couldn't find anything related to this. I'm unsure if it's a problem with just the Pixel 2 XL or Android. I've installed all OTA updates and the phone is running 8.1.0. It had both of these errors prior to updating. I have also replaced the entire handset and tested again. Still occurring. I have a Pixel 2 also, which does NOT experience these issues. I'm also running stock, no root/roms. *edit* I went through Google support for both issues, they couldn't find any solutions. They suggested a factory reset and then replaced the handset.
The dialer:
Intermittent problem. Basically when you open the dialer or a contact and initiate a call, the app often freezes for an indeterminate amount of time. It could be 10 seconds it could be over a minute. Eventually it will move to the "call" screen and then freezes/lags again. Once more this can be any length of time up to a minute or more. All other apps work perfectly fine during this process. Eventually the call initiates and you can hear it ring, once in call everything behaves normally.
The notifications:
This one is simple. During a call receiving an SMS or other notification results in an electronic beep sound which plays at full volume. It does the same thing after the call ends. I'm not sure if it's using call or external speakers as the volume is so damn loud it doesn't matter. It legitimately causes me to throw the phone away from my ear and I cannot hear anything besides buzzing for 20 minutes. It actually hurts.
Nothing I do has stopped this except to turn on DND before I make or receive a call, which is useless. I read a few other threads about this being a new feature in 8.1.0 and "intentional". However I think those are referring to the call end beep, or notifications during a call that make the designated notification sound, not a deafening beep. The threads I read suggested removing third party apps and phone permissions, I used a brand new handset and the beeps still happened.
Please does anyone have a suggestion? I'll try anything at this point.

If you don't have issues with the Pixel 2 and do have issues with the Pixel 2XL, why don't you ask in the Pixel 2XL forum?

Hey, did you get any answers on this,. I'm having the same frustrating issue.
I just started to have this problem a few days out of nowhere. Some on Reddit are having issues too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/80qh32/pixel_2_xl_dialer_problems/
I found that plugging the phone into charge or computer fixes the issues for a little bit...
Had similar issues with my Verizon Pixel 2. After some searching, I restarted the phone in safe mode and the problem went away, meaning it's a non-stock app interfering with the phone app. I restarted in 'normal' mode, uninstalled Facebook (it's always f'ing Facebook), and have had zero issues since.

Thanks for the fix! Phone.app was killing me!
The watch has generates a small vibrate when it disconnects the Bluetooth from the phone but it is barely noticeable. Is there an app that can generate a persistent notification until it is cleared when the phone is out of range of the watch? Years ago I used an application called "Feel the wear" and it worked great on an old android watch. I found it in the playstore but doesn't seem to be compatible with the Galaxy Watch 4.
there is a setting in developer options that makes the watch vibrate when ever it disconnects from your phone. It's among the first items, you can't miss it. Vibrates for a second or two
Yeah I have it set to vibrate but it is so short, it easily goes unnoticed. The app "Fell the wear" was great on an older smart watch. It would vibrate and/or make noise until you cleared the message on the screen. It was great for those times, I accidently left my phone behind and didn't want it stolen.
